Back I just have to work in IE 5.5 and later so have you got a solution for that you are great!! Maybe I can narrow it down to juts IE 6.0 and later browsers too.
Do you have any example of that clever hidden IFRAME elements so I wouldn't have to reload a page.

The Flash Form Application is a new feature for Flash MX 2004 Professional that makes Flash feel more like the visual layout tools in Microsoft Visual Studio. Many Flash programmers still prefer the traditional way of designing applications in Flash for efficiency's sake despite this feature.
In Flash, you could probably use the loadVars object's sendAndLoad() method to make sequential calls to PHP to set the current listbox's selection and request content for the next. To PHP, it'd just look like a regular GET or POST form query. Repeat until you're done for all the boxes. :)
In most recent browsers, you could actually load data dynamically without reloading the page via the clever use of hidden IFRAME elements, though I'd seriously recommend against it. Due to differing DOM implementations, you'll probably need to do a good bit of testing and code-branching in Javascript to handle the different browsers. Even then, certain people will still be "left in the dark," because they have the "wrong" browser(s).
